A better understanding of the pathophysiology of renal failure
coupled with technological advances in dialysis techniques and
renal transplantation have greatly improved the prognosis and
survival for patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD).
Unfortunately, the advances and success of treatment are limited by
a number of extrarenal complications that can cause significant
morbidity and mortality. Of these, cardiovascular abnormalities are
the most common, with cardiac complications alone accounting for
more than 40% of deaths in international registries. The importance
of cardiovascular complications has become more apparent in recent
years with the increased prevalence of diabetes mellitus and
vascular nephropathy and with the general ageing of patients with
ESRD. The past decade has witnessed enormous advances in
understanding the causes and pathophysiology of cardiovascular
disease, and their diagnosis, treatment, and prevention. It is,
therefore, of importance for physicians caring for patients with
end- stage renal failure to understand the pathogenesis of
cardiovascular complications, to become familiar with modern
diagnostic tools and techniques, and to recognise and treat these
complications. The goal of this text is to provide a comprehensive
review of the pathophysiology and clinical manifestations of the
principal cardiovascular complications in patients with chronic
renal failure. The text is intended to assist nephrologists,
cardiologists, and internists who care for these patients. The book
includes nineteen chapters and is organised in three parts. The
first includes three chapters dealing with the epidemiology of
cardiovascular disease in patients with end-sage renal failure. The
second comprises eight chapters on the basic pathophysiology and
pathobiology of cardiovascular diseases in the setting of end-
stage renal failure. The third includes eight chapters focussing on
clinical manifestations and diagnosis of cardiovascular disease in
patients with end-stage renal failure and their management.
